Sidi Bishr Mosque, Religious landmark in Sidi Bishr district, Alexandria, Egypt.
The mosque contains a rectangular courtyard with porticoes and an iwan supported by octagonal columns featuring pointed arches and parallel corridors.
Originally built around a shrine in the late nineteenth century, the mosque expanded to four times its size during a major renovation in 1945.
The mosque honors Sheikh Bishr Ibn Al-Hussein, who migrated from the Maghreb region and lived as a mystic near the Alexandria seashore.
Located on Khaled Ibn Al-Waleed Street along the sea road, the mosque regularly hosts community prayers and religious celebrations throughout the year.
The western section houses a square-shaped shrine room topped with a nineteenth-century dome, representing the oldest part of the structure.
